Application of RFID electronic tags in aviation logistics

In the modern air transport industry, the safety and accurate sorting of baggage is a vital link. Although traditional airline checked baggage tags play an important role in daily operations, their accuracy in the baggage identification process is often affected by a variety of factors. In recent years, with the advancement of science and technology, the introduction of radio frequency identification (RFID) technology has provided an effective solution to this problem. By attaching a thin RFID tag to an ordinary airline checked baggage tag, the baggage identification accuracy can be increased to 99%. This innovation not only significantly improved the efficiency of baggage sorting, but also saved the airport tens of millions of yuan in sorting costs, demonstrating the huge potential of RFID technology in the field of aviation logistics.

RFID technology is an automatic identification technology that uses radio frequency signals for data transmission and identification. It consists of three parts: tag, reader/writer and data processing system. The tag is embedded with a microchip and antenna, which can store relevant information and feedback the information after receiving the radio frequency signal from the reader. Compared with traditional barcode technology, RFID electronic tags do not require direct contact or scanning within line of sight, thus greatly improving the flexibility and efficiency of identification.
In the field of aviation logistics, the application of RFID technology is mainly reflected in baggage tracking and management. By attaching an RFID electronic tag to each piece of luggage, the airport can monitor the location and status of the luggage in real time. This real-time tracking capability enables the airport to deal with problems such as lost baggage and misdelivery in a timely manner, improving passenger satisfaction. In addition, RFID technology can also be combined with intelligent systems to achieve automated baggage sorting. Through data analysis, airports can optimize baggage handling processes and reduce manual intervention, thereby reducing error rates and improving efficiency.
The introduction of RFID technology has brought significant economic benefits to the airport. According to relevant research, after using RFID tags, the accuracy of baggage identification can reach 99%, which means that the probability of errors during baggage handling is greatly reduced. Mishandling can not only lead to passenger dissatisfaction but also increase airport operating costs. By reducing these errors, airports can save tens of millions of dollars in baggage sorting costs every year. In addition, the efficiency of RFID technology can also shorten baggage processing time and improve flight punctuality, thereby further improving the overall operational efficiency of the airport.
To sum up, the introduction of RFID electronic tags not only improves the identification accuracy of aviation baggage, but also brings significant economic benefits to the airport. With the continuous development of technology and the expansion of application scenarios, RFID technology will exert its unique value in more industries. In the future, with the development of smart cities and smart transportation, RFID technology will surely become an important tool to improve industry efficiency and reduce operating costs. Faced with this trend,

relevant companies should actively explore the application potential of RFID technology to achieve more efficient and intelligent operation management.
